Using the DCE Manager
2
Overview
The OpenLane DCE Manager is integrated with OpenView during the installation
process. Thus, any device that is discovered by OpenView can be managed
using the components of the DCE Manager.
A subset of DCE Manager functions are available from the OpenView menus.
However, to use all of the features of the DCE Manager, or to perform an action
on a device interface, you must open a Device Display. A Device Display shows a
front or rear view of a selected device and its associated interfaces.
This chapter provides you with the information you need to access and use the
components of the DCE Manager from within OpenView or a Device Display.
Discovering Devices
OpenView offers several features used by the DCE Manager, which includes the
discovery of devices and creation of submaps. OpenView discovers devices by
polling the network for device information.
Once a device is discovered, it is added to a submap, which presents a view of
your network. You can have many submaps depending on the configuration of
your network.
